By Star Magazine’s records, Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz have not walked a red carpet together since spring 2014. They were never really a huge red carpet couple, and I often get the impression that Daniel views the red carpet as something akin to torture. But they did walk many red carpets as a couple, and I was actually surprised to see Rachel flying solo throughout the Cannes Film Festival last month. Granted, Daniel has been endlessly filming Spectre, the latest James Bond film, and maybe he couldn’t get away. Or maybe he didn’t want to. Sources tell Star that Daniel and Rachel’s four-year marriage is on the rocks. And then some.
Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz kept their 2011 wedding ceremony quiet, but they can’t keep their marriage troubled under wraps for much longer.
“They’re virtual strangers these days,” a source tells Star. “It’s like they don’t see the point anymore.”
On the surface, it appears ambition is driving the split. Daniel, 47, is immersed in filming Spectre while Rachel, 45, shoots a biopic about tragic yachtsman Donald Crowhurst. Absence, however, is not making their hearts grow fonder.
“They’d vowed to never let work come between them, but that’s exactly what’s happening. Gone are the days of them texting and calling each other incessantly. They’re both in England – he’s filming in London, she is Devon – but they haven’t bothered to meet up.
“She flew from NYC to London and went straight to the set. You’d think if your husband was a couple of hours away, you’d make an effort to connect.”
Insiders say that Daniel has been flirting heavily on the set of Spectre. “He clearly gets carried away with women he works with, and he’s taken a shine to one in particular,” says the source. While the source refused to divulge which of his costars he’s smitten with, the insider insists, “He’s lavishing attention on her.”
As for Rachel, there isn’t a hint of impropriety between her and her current costar Colin Firth, but people are still buzzing about her scenes with Rafe Spall while starring in Betrayal in 2013 (with Daniel as well).
Also, when Rachel threw a birthday party for her 9-year-old son Henry, Daniel failed to show up. “He adores Henry, but he’s picking work over family. They both have a lot going on and their marriage has gone by the wayside.”

Star doesn’t say it explicitly, but I come away thinking that there might be something between Daniel and Lea Seydoux, who is one of the Bond Girls in Spectre. The other choices are Monica Bellucci, Stephanie Sigman or… Naomie Harris. Damn, now I want it to be Naomie. I mean, I love Rachel and if Daniel is cheating on her then he’s a douchebag, but IF he is cheating, I hope it’s with Naomie.
As for the rest of it… I was actually surprised to see Rachel flying solo at Cannes, as I said, and I have noticed the lack of red carpet AND candid photos of Rachel and Daniel together in the past year or more. So… I kind of believe there could be trouble in hot-couple paradise. And Star is right, Daniel does have a history of screwing around with costars and screwing around on his significant other. That’s how Rachel and Daniel got together in 2010 – they both had significant others (Daniel was with Satsuki Mitchell, Rachel was with Darren Aronofsky) and they cheated, split with their partners and ran off and got married.

What goes around comes around – only thing I have to say about this.
The irony of a Brangelina stan.
Shots fired.
BALLS!!! Nope. Not today.
Hahahahaha
Wasn’t he one of the lovers she said she had in those years she was a single mother?
@claire. NO she never named names.
but nice to see once again a post not about her (them) becomes about her (them).
Why do people on here bring up Brad and Angelina in threads not related to them? It’s annoying.
it’s a clichè but if something starts with cheating it will likely end exactly like that. both hot, daniel can get it
True.
“You lose them how you got them” is the other saying as well.
Edit- others down thread have said this as well.
I never thought these two would last. He’s not going to pass on the lady treats he’s surrounded by daily. Two married working actors on different movie sets and often in different countries is a recipe for disaster/divorce.
Team Aronofsky. 🙂
But didn’t he cheat on Rachel with Natalie Portman? I have to say I really enjoyed him on the Madagascar episode of Anthony Bourdain’s show, though.
That was the rumours at the time, there were also rumours going around that he was her son’s real father and that she turned to Benjamin to help her out in return for him getting career help in the movies. But this is all conjecture.
But again this was all gossip but given that Portman was known to go after men that were in relationships it wouldn’t be a surprise if it were true.
I saw that Madagascar episode, I was totally creeped out by Aronofsky! He seemed so awkward and completely out of place on that episode. LOL. Too funny and interesting how people see the same thing and take away different things from it :).
doubt if she slept with the director while she was sleeping with another actor/dancer. There were so many rumors about her at the time & darren was one of many. gossip always blames the director of the film when an actor gets pregnant while filming.
The rumours increased because her kid looks so much like Aronofsky. The idea of her sleeping with him, getting pregnant, and then getting the dancer to play the role of bio dad sounds totally weird, unrealistic, and somewhat impossible given the logistics of hiding something of this magnitude, but that baby really does look like Aronofsky. I don’t really think the baby is his given that something like this can’t really remain hidden in the long-term, but even I look at pictures and go “whoa and, uh, why”?
I don’t think it’s impossible for me to believe she simply had an affair with him though. Or even slept with him and the dancer dude at the same time (I mean, come on, this is Hollywood, and stuff like that seems to happen there often). But that’s about it. And she does seem to be in love with the dancer dude (she looked happy on her wedding day).
I have always gotten a creepy artiste vibe from Aronofsky. It might have something to do with that stupid ass scarf he is always wearing.
There have been a lot of blind items here and there over the years about his epic poon-hounding; I guess they were at least somewhat true…
What? I just viewed the Bourdain clip where Bourdain was eating pork and Aronofsky was abstaining as a vegetarian. It all seemed gross! And I am a foodie! Aronofsky looks like a computer geek. He is “poon hounding”? What ever happened to good looking dudes? He looked like he would fall over from either the sun or the heat in the kitchen. And he was boning Weisz and Portman? Wow!
I always forget these two are together.
If he does it with you, he’ll do it to you…
How you get him is how you lose him.
Well they sure didn’t get trashed by gossip sites for their “supposed” cheating.. It was all they are the sexiest couple alive.. OH they are so hot together.
I have been curious about them for sometime. I noticed that there have not been pics of them out and about for a long time. And yes I was surprised he didn’t go to Cannes. But that happens. But funny how he didn’t get any flack for it like many couples do if they are not joined at the hip. Ben/Jen come to mind on that one.
“Well they sure didn’t get trashed by gossip sites for their “supposed” cheating.. It was all they are the sexiest couple alive.. OH they are so hot together. ”
as you can see above, its the same thing now. “i hope its with Naomi” WTF???
beauty is such a huge privilege, people dont even care if you hurt others if you are deemed hot enough.
I don’t think it is about beauty. Neither of them have rapid fans. And people didn’t care about the people they were with before they got together. I think that is the thing. I remember some nasty comments about his previous girlfriend. So I guess if you don’t like the previous partners all is fair.
and yes the I hope he is cheating with Naomi was a WTH comment. I dont’ get that. Is it just the idea of them together; but it was NO.
It’s not even ‘supposed’ Sienna Miller testified about her affair with Craig in a court of law Satsuki Mitchell leaked so many details to the tabs. I honestly think people only care about cheating when a famous person gets cheated on.
Didn’t he cheat on Satsuki with his close friend Jude Law’s then girlfriend Sienna Miller as well? The man is a serial cheater.
Gosh, this whole adulterous mishmash really has me confused. Someone needs to make a relationship flow-chart or something with these folks.
I think most of them would link back to Jude Law pretty quickly…
Please, don’t! That flow-chart would steal the sunshine and smother us all..
Oh goodness! That flow chart must include STD medication.
With all due respect to @Ankhel, I am all atwitter at the idea of a flow chart (I tend to freckle in the sun anyway.)
I tell you what, Lady of Boston with Viridescent Eyes, you work the math out and I will needlepoint the results in a giant Shtupping Tree Sampler.
@j.eyre haha
@ Boston Green Eyes That’s funny! A relationship flow chart indeed, that would come in handy for more of these celebrity couples!
Ahhhh. j.eyre you are balm on my troubled soul.
Someone called him a garden gnome on here, and now that’s all I think about when I see him.
Word. He’s not all that. Ugh.
He has a giant bulbous clown nose. They do a good job of shooting him in movies but he always looks like a buffoon in the more candid shots, and he talks like a drunk one too in interviews.
I have just never thought he was all that great. He has what I call a “mean mouth”. He is lipless and looks angry most of the time. Know nothing about them as a couple, but tabloids go through most couples in the entertainment business and break them up on a regular basis. When it doesn’t pan out with the usual suspects, they move on to another. Don’t believe anything until it actually happens.
IKR? In these pictures, he looks like my abusive father. Yeah, so no lust from Miss Boston Green Eyes.
The thing with him is, if you focus on any individual feature of this face, he isn’t attractive. But seeing him in motion in a movie, he is pure hotness. I really can’t explain it any better than that.
Good makeup, great lighting, superb camera angles. Sometimes hotness is all about what you don’t see.
I know what you mean. He translates better in film.
Yes, I fell in love with him in Skyfall. I think that’s the name. But he sounds like a big one from what everybody is saying on here.
I agree Crumpet. On screen he oozes charisma. He’s in the top 3 of my favorites James Bonds (after Sean and Pierce). In candids though, not so much.
Yep, so true. Before Casino Royale, I was definitely not in favor of DC as Bond. (Who’s this craggy-faced Brit? And what, the actor can’t even drive a stickshift?! Nuh uh…)
Now, though, I love his version of Bond, maybe because it’s more like Bourne, but I don’t much enjoy or see DC in any other roles.
Sorry a bit off topic here, but personally, I think Matt Bomer would make a far better Bond than Craig.
Also, I am sure I will get slammed for this, but I like Jason Bourne WAY BETTER than Bond.
I used to find him ok-looking mainly because of his beautiful eyes but ever since someone made the Putin comparison, I cannot unsee.
I’m not sure which is worse now. At least the garden gnome travels the world, without having to be shirtless on horseback.
LOL, now I cannot unsee it too!
Oh god! A shirtless Putin riding horseback wrestling a tiger. You both are killing it today. 🙂
Oh no, he’s ruined.
OMG he really could be Putin’s brother :O.
He doesn´t like nothing like Volodia… maybe the colouring is confounding people 😉
So he is now the height of a garden gnome but with the face of Putin. Got it.
Now all I can think about is the travelosity talking gnome which made me think about Captain Obvious which made me think about…..

Seeing a photo, I wouldn’t necessarily say, ‘Yes, please.’ But I can tell you that on stage, he radiates presence and a sort of reigned-in energy that is compelling in its own right.
Swagger. He has tons of it. He just looks like one of those guys who knows what he is doing. With women, it seems like they have no be near perfect to be considered beautiful. With men, they can be borderline unattractive by conventional standards but will be hot as all get out – all about the swagger.
“but he always looks like a buffoon in the more candid shots,”
Hon, I live in the southwest and when they were filming “Cowboys and Aliens” he turned up behind me one Sunday morning on the checkout line in the local Whole Foods, and I have to tell you: he was hot. Not tall, maybe 5’9″, had his teenage daughter with him, and he was trim, taut, and those intense blue eyes were just as they look onscreen. He also was not remotely courting public attention or looking around to see if anyone recognized him, to his credit. He is not classically handsome by any stretch, but hot and radiating intensity? OMG – if you gave me a choice between a night in the sack with him or Henry Cavill or one of those other guys who look like former models . . . no contest.
I don’t go for blonds much but there’s a reason this guy made it. Charisma.
Wow, what a moment! He is totally not my type (not even remotely), but there is something mesmerizing about him.
I always thought he was a douchebag after he flipped out on that fan who took his picture at the grocery store.
I blame Sienna Miller.
Hmmm, she certainly threw herself at him and i don’t know if he was a cheater before that all blew up. Sienna on the other hand was a well known man eater and didn’t care whether they were in a relationship or not.
Craig was def cheating on Satsuki when he got with Rachel but i always thought she’d already dumped Aronsofsky over his rumoured fling with Natalie Portman, which if the rumours were true it started on the set of Black Swan and ended just before she hooked up with Benjamin and announced her pregnancy (another femme fatale who likes attached men).
Can’t be Léa Seydoux, the girl is getting papped with her longtime boyfriend every time she’s in Paris and she keeps raving about how he is the man of her life. Looks pretty serious to me. My money is on Monica Bellucci
I thought he was very attentive to Monica Bellucci. She’s freshly divorced from Vincent Cassel. She looks vulnerable these days, and to a younger (?) guy she’d be a trophy to seduce.
That’s what I was thinking too, actually. I know gossips like to put old men with very young women but in this case, I’m pretty sure they are talking about Monica, and as you said she’s newly single. But then again it’s star so everything is probably BS
this, thank you. it’s definitely not Léa.
I too would say Monica in any case I do not believe for a second that this is Leah because she has a boyfriend she does not stop talking and above all, it has never seemed interested in players or directors (perhaps because she were born in this environment ) while Monica through a rather complicated period between his divorce and his 50 years
she wouldnt be the first to brag in public and act differently in private.
I get more of an Alfred E. Neuman vibe than garden gnome….
Am I wrong to see something fishy about throwing a birthday party where dad -who is technically still married to mom — no shows? I can see something unavoidable coming up and sending your regrets, but actually no showing to your young son’s birthday party?!
Either Daniel Craig has no heart whatsoever, or Rachel planned/manipulated the event so that Daniel couldn’t attend or know about it and thus play the role of “the only parent who cares”. Maybe Daniel did send his regrets, but Rachel let their son believe that he no showed.
One of them is being a despicable parent.
Craig is the stepfather of Weisz’s son
You do realize that Henry is Craig’s stepson? Not saying that’s any less important, of course not, but he is not his only father.
Meh. If my husband was out of town on work, the show would go on. Not everyone puts the same value on these things, and Europeans don’t go nuts for children’s birthday parties like we do. Life does not revolve around the children to the same extreme extent is does in many communities in the US.
NNNOOOOOOO!!! I don’t want this to be true. I don’t want this to be true. Take it back Star magazine. Don’t speculate. Take it back.
+1 I can’t even read the article. NO NO NO NO NO.
He looks like a right bastard. But they are hot. That’s all.
The hot ones usually are.
I don’t get his appeal but he looks great in a suit.
I don’t understand why the hell a serial cheater seeks marriage or monogamic relationships.
This. I know plenty of people like this in real life, too. I just don’t get it. And of course, when the man/woman who cheated on their partner to get with them inevitably cheats again, they act shocked. Now, I’m not saying this is the case 100% of the time-but in my experience, people rarely cheat once and then never again.
Your last sentence differs with men and women. I have only cheated on my current boyfriend in the past and that was because we had lack of sex, intimacy, and affection and were sleeping in separate bedrooms for awhile. I am not a serial cheater nor have I wanted to cheat with other partners. For men, I think it is far easier and less complicated than for a woman to cheat.
I think there are people, men mostly, that like the idea of monogamy/marriage and burn bright with sex and passion for a year or two, then that fades and what is left is not enough to sustain them. Then if they’re famous there is a lot of attention, and they get all passionate and excited about someone else and go cheat.
I heard Fred Armison on Howard Stern admitting he was very into Elizabeth Moss in the beginning and a little into their marriage he just turned off, he’s done this with other women, etc.
Andrea, I hear you. In one sentence, you justified your cheating in acceptable reasons. Most men cheat because… they just felt like it. Or out of bore. I’m not saying every woman cheats for better reasons, some are just selfish jerks, but it’s not equal. Or am I being sexist and double-standarding?
yes you are, to both genders. women also like to grab the opportunity when a hot men stands next to them and there is no real chance of being discovered., on holiday for example or the hen night with the stripper.
generally women are just more discreet than men and women are better at finding out if a partner is cheating, so men are disovered more often.
if you know that women have a sex drive you will also know that women cheat purely because they wanted to have sex with someone else while in a relationship.
im a bit mad with women talking about loving casual sex but when it comes to cheating “of course women are not as interested in sex as men are”.
if you look at the statistics, in generations under 40 women and men cheat at the same rate, quite some studies saying women cheat more.
Mila, I still think women are less superficial in their own reasons when they cheat. The times have changed, but the lame culture of “men are cheaters by nature” didn’ t vanish completely.
it didnt vanish and thats not what i said. i just said women have become a lot more like men in those regards.
think about it if men cheat so much with whom do they cheat? widows?
a huge number of men cheats with women who are cheating themselves.
i dont understand this world view of “men cheat so much and women dont really” just by the numbers the cheating men must be with a lot of women in relationships. men can buy sex but an average looking woman will find sex easier than an average looking man so i guess it will be about equal. (one of the first sections we reached equality…yay..or well, nay.)
He was married for two years, and then single for many, many years before marrying Rachel, so he’s not a serial wedding type. I think you need optimism to get married, and I doubt that the vast majority of people go into a marriage thinking that they will cheat.
But people should start thinking about this, how hard is the idea of staying with only one person to death. If u consider how many people you’re going to meet in your whole life, the concept of marriage is nearly absurd. Not saying people should stop getting married, but most of us can’t pull it off. Sad, but true.
Excellent point and I don’t understand their line of thinking either.
I never believe a word written in any rag magazine, but i do love their Hollywood fiction stories.
With that out the way I must say that daniel has always come off as a tremendous,smug and egotistical douche. The whole Bond franchise seemed to have magnified the douchery by 1000%.
He always seemed to come off as a womanizer and the fact that he attach himself to one person and continue to cheat instead of just staying unattached makes him in addition to everything else a masoganist.
I liked the palable craig in one of those Capote movies and Layer Caker were he seemed a bit charming,but other than that I can’t wait until he falls into obscurity.
But why are the rumors always about the guy cheating? Who couldn’t Rachel get? Let’s get some rumors about her wandering eye started.
i guess its because gossip is mainly catered to women and most want to read about a guy being a b*st*rd or a cute guy being funny and kind. plus lots of people still believe women are not interested in sex and lots of people who know women love sex still think they dont cheat at all.
but its true you rarely hear rumours about actresses cheating unless its pretty obvious (Hi Kristen!) and i dont believe for a second that they are all faithful.
I wonder what’s the difference between what happened with Arof-Weisz and the Beckinsale-Sheen. Was there any cheating involved in the last one?
Re: Beckingsdale/Sheen – i don’t think so, i always thought they had parted ways before she hooked up with that director dude. Hell they even worked together in the first Underworld film and I don’t think they were together then. Those guys have such a good relationship – he even pranked her once for a TV show.
Not surprising considering how they got together.
I think Daniel has taken a liking to Naomi as well. He seemed taken with her during the press tour for Skyfall. His stance around her was sorta possessive. Same with Sam Mendes.
was daniel craig possessive of sam mendes?
Lol, that’s what I got too!
Yes! Lol
hahahah @Nola, wtf how was he being possessive of mendes?
If they do it with you, they’ll do it do you. Most actors cheat anyway, people are only as faithful as their options. If you’re very successful there’s huge temptation from extremely attractive people, not many can resist. And why bother resisting when you know your partner probably isn’t either?
This . . .
This is a VERY good observation here.
i agree. actors and actresses are known to cheat left and right and i wouldnt be surprised if they have an open relationship. in the end they know they could get with most people in the world and most peopel with that kind of power dont behave. dont tell me Rachel Weisz is staying faithful when a hot co star is hitting on her, please.
I love them as a couple.
I never liked Aronofski, it was portrayed like she was waiting for a marriage proposal from him and had his kid, but he did not propose, plus he looks a bit creepy.
Her and Craig seemed to shy away from publicity a bit and they had this seemingly quick marriage, and I was happy for them, she is hot and closer to his age than Sienna and that somehow appealed. I was never crazy about him, but this pairing brought him up in my eyes. He just looks high maintenance. he looks moody.
I would imagine Monica Belucci as the girl, though I doubt she would take it seriously. It makes sense for him to like a woman he has maybe always admired.
He was in a relationship with german actress heike makatsch for 8 years when he cheated od her with sutzuki or whats her name. Heike moved from germany to england to live with him. Soon after the break up she left england and he was with suzuki. Hes a serial cheater. But heike never said a word about it. She doesnt react good when you ask her about him, she says nothing but her face speaks volumes.
If Enty’s BIs hold any water, Craig’s been a habitual cheater, not only as a husband but with other men’s wives and girlfriends, for most of his life – his affair with Sienna Miller while they filmed “Layer Cake” and she was hooked up to Jude Law is a matter of public record: it was part of the stuff uncovered in the NOTW phone hacking scandal – not that anyone minds someone sticking it to Law on that score. Craig and Weisz present as a compelling couple and it was so nice that he married an intelligent age-appropriate woman and not a 25 y.o. bimbo, but . . .
A friend of mine in NYC saw “Betrayal” and reported absolutely nothing out of the way re Weisz’s scenes with Spall, who is also married with three kids. In fact, his report was that Spall was woefully miscast and that Craig’s intensity and charisma so overpowered Spall that you couldn’t believe she would fall for him.
I love how everyone assumes how they got together, and that now they are cheating. I get this is a gossip site, but have a mind of your own. Sorry to break it to you but gossip from Star and what you people “think” doesn’t make things actually true.
You lose them how you got them.
There were rumors that he was sleeping with Rooney Mara during TGWTDT as well.
I met the both of them last year at a huge charity event for children. All i can say afterwards. Daniel has some nerve. Rachel is super hot, nice and a 10. Daniel i was 100% disappointed with him in the looks dept. It was def a case of looks better in makeup in film than in person… Cant imagine him with Lea. Yikes, she’d be stupid.
Getting off topic ,the only true James Bond to me, will always be Sean Connery.
This Depends on the age of the viewers. to me, its Roger Moore and Pierce Brosnan 😉 I never liked Sean Connery as Bond, i dont know why. I was suprised when i saw him the first time as bond, well thats maybe because i was too young for his bond movies.
And there is no “true” James Bond, its a story and the actors age, they have to change them. Some are good, some are not, its personal taste.
The only true James Bond is Christopher Lee, who never actually played him, he simply was him.
Where did I read that it was Stephanie Stigman, brought into Spectre when Monica turned him down? Trying hard to live up to the old 007 “ladykiller” rep? Isn’t this his last 007? Geez.
I followed the link about them first getting together: “I mean, it’s sad that Rachel and Darren broke up and everything, but the potential Daniel-and-Rachel coupling is really, really HOT.” :)))
It’s all fun and games in the beginning :))
What the hell was with that “I hope he’s cheating with Naomie Millers” comment? I suppose cheating is alright as long as the people cheating are deemed attractive enough?
+1
Gossip Cop is saying it isn’t true and I really want to believe them. I love them as a couple!
I was lucky enough to see them in “Betrayal”. Her scenes with Rafe Spall were graphic, even without nudity, but they were more cringe-inducing than anything else. I really was not expecting humping with faux orgasms! I didn’t get a sense of any chemistry between them. The chemistry between Rachel and Daniel was definitely present.
this is the best ever couple how it is possible
I think Daniel Craig and Jeremy Renner look similar. Neither is very attractive imo.
You have to be a special kind of stupid to cheat on Rachel Weisz. Every man I know – literally EVERY one – thinks Rachel is lovely. Daniel Craig is nothing to look at. He’s lucky to have her.
Calling Brendan Fraser!!
it’s karma baby
I have never, in any way, thought that he was the LEAST bit attractive. Please bring the Idris Bond ASAP!!! 😉
